NOTE ON SF 5/19 ⸻ ASYLUM APPLICATIONS AND HUMANITARIAN VISAS RUSSIA
At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, several representatives of the then federal government declared that people from Russia who did not want to participate in the war in Ukraine, which violated international law, should be granted protection in Germany. Scholz also made a similar statement in the fall of 2022, when Putin ordered a partial mobilization. We have now requested the latest figures on asylum procedures for Russian citizens of conscription age in order to assess the extent to which the traffic light coalition has fulfilled its promise.
